Eleanor Tinsley Park Hand Launch provides boat access to Buffalo Bayou with a hand launch facility located downstream from the main parking area—note that it involves a very long walk to the water.

The 20-acre park offers parking (though spaces can be limited), and serves as a major access point for canoe and kayak paddlers on the Buffalo Bayou paddling trail, though the launch itself is described as being buried under mud in some accounts and requires significant effort to reach.
